Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba may visit the United States to meet with American President Donald Trump from February 6 to 8. This was reported by Kyodo agency on February 1.

It is noted that the Japanese government informed senior officials of the ruling party that Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba will visit the United States in 6-8 days.

Also according to Kyodo, the meeting between Ishiba and Trump is expected to take place to discuss cooperation between the nations and understand the importance of US involvement in the Asia-Pacific region.

In addition to this, Ishiba can probably offer Trump a deal to buy US gas. Also, Japan may offer the American president investment in the construction of a new gas pipeline in Alaska that would connect the US and Asia, the publication said.
